Special Notice. 



The following information will give 

 reasons why our Louisiana budded pecan 

 trees are better than those grown in light 

 soils. Our prices are low considering the 

 grade of trees we sell. On comparing our 

 trees with those grov/n crov/ded together 

 in seed bed, without transplanting, four 

 or five feet high — mere switches — drawn 

 up; because of this condition, a large 

 percentage of them die on being planted 

 in the orchard. 



Our trees are all transplanted before 

 budding or grafting, are given room to 



grow, making strong stocky trees, well 

 rooted and in condition to bear trans- 

 planting in orchard without injury to the 

 trees. They should all grov/ if properly 

 planted. Our customers who have planted 

 both grades of trees will endorse this 

 statement.
